Bonham Strand is Coming to America!

The Bonham Strand family is excited to announce that Hong Kong’s award winning bespoke apparel social enterprise is finally coming to America!

Our Social Enterprise

Bonham Strand is an award winning social enterprise specializing in custom made suits, tuxedos, shirts, outfits, overcoats and accessories for men and women. Our suits and tuxedos are truly bespoke, crafted with care by hand by expert master tailors out of whole cloth without templates, patterns or factory processes.

We are proud of our professional VIP service and attention to detail, use of the finest Italian and English fabrics and an embrace of traditional artisanal methods and techniques to cater to the unique physique and style preferences of each and every client. Unlike other custom brands, we stand by our work with a 100% unconditional satisfaction guarantee.

Our Social Mission

Bonham Strand USA will focus its energies on the economic renewal of urban communities in crisis. Specifically, our innovative social impact business model partners with local community, private sector, government, faith and educational partners to identify, train and gainfully employ men and women with ambition and potential from at-risk segments of our target Bonham Strand USA cities.

Based on and adapted from our experience and success in Hong Kong, we will actively and publicly recruit and offer training and opportunity to carefully evaluated candidates without regard to their history of substance abuse, incarceration and/or incomplete formal education.

Commitment to Bringing Artisanal Craftsmanship Back to America

Bonham Strand’s social impact model is all about elevating the value of the human capital of our local team members so that their contributions are worth every penny of their real middle-class incomes. In order to do this and to maximize local impact, each Bonham Strand city will strive to produce as much of its offered products locally. Over time, our goal is for 66% of the sales of each Bonham Strand city to be generated from local production and services performed by local Bonham Strand artisans, professionals, apprentices and managers.

The journey for each Bonham Strand city will vary greatly upon its unique history, dynamics and current opportunities and challenges. Each Bonham Strand city will strive to infuse its exceptional and rich spirit into its own Bonham Strand style that is distinct from all other Bonham Strand cities.

While launch support will initially come from Bonham Strand Hong Kong, Bonham Strand has already started the process of recruiting and employing full time leadership, bespoke consultants, ambassadors and tailors in the United States.

Our Model: 66x66x2

Fundamental to realizing our social impact objectives is our innovative product as a local service model an overview of which was recently published in Social Innovations Journal. Specifically, this model emphasizes fulfilling as much local demand with local production and services as possible. Our target for each Bonham Strand city is for local production and services to represent 66% of that city’s sales.

Second, by adopting service industry economics, we have stripped away a number of significant expenses and balance sheet liabilities typical in our industry in order to reallocate resources to appropriately compensate skilled and professional high value human capital. Comparable to many service industries, we strive for 66% of all net sales worldwide to be allocated to our internal human capital supply chain.

Finally, Bonham Strand’s definition of success is clear and simple. We strive to create skills based value added full time local employment opportunities that can offer a real and concretely defined middle class income. In the United States, our overall target gross income for employees in the United States is US$46,600 which is two times (2x) the US federal poverty income level for a family of four (our “Fam4 Index”). We firmly believe that only when real skills based middle class jobs are created and the lion’s share of revenues from a city stay in that city, will sufficient discretionary cashflow circulate in the target urban economy to realize the macro benefits of money multiplication.
